The 6th constituency of Seine-et-Marne lies in the north of the department around the town of Meaux.
In the 1980s and 1990s the seat swung between left and right; however, since 2002 the seat has remained comfortably in the hands of Jean-François Copé of the UMP. Copé served as a minister under Nicolas Sarkozy and as president of the UMP between 2012 and 2014.
